A crew member reportedly got possessed during a film shoot in an empty house in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
This reportedly took place during the filming of the drama "Code of Honour", which involved artistes including Zheng Ge Ping, Rui En, Elvin Ng, Chris Tong and Andie Chen.
The film crew had arrived at the empty house on 13 August at about 11pm. The day is coincidentally the 14th day of the Ghost Month.
The female crew member in question had gone pale and said she felt unwell immediately upon arriving at the location. The crew told her to rest in the vehicle instead of joining the filming. Some time later, the girl inexplicably dashed out of the vehicle towards a dark area of the house, away from the filming location. At the same time, she was screaming and behaving like a lunatic while pointing at the second floor of the house.
Shocked at her sudden strange behaviour, three men including the director, producer and martial arts choreographer chased after the girl to restrain her. But despite their efforts, the normally gentle girl could not be subdued and suddenly seemed extremely strong. She also began to speak in a different voice and behaved like a different person altogether.
In the chaos, another member of the crew managed to subdue the girl only after he pressed a talisman above her lip, which is an acupuncture point rooted in Chinese medicine as well as mystical origins. After the man did so, the girl immediately collapsed and the men quickly carried her back into the vehicle.
The crew immediately rushed her to a nearby temple even though it was already in the middle of the night.
On the incident, actress Chris said it was so scary that her legs were shaking. She could not walk and had to hold on to fellow actor Andie. Chris was so shaken that she refused to go back into the house to continue filming and retired to the vehicle where she could not stop crying from fear.
The makeup artist and costumer also ran out of the house crying and complaining of the eerie atmosphere in the house.
Andie said that the possessed girl kept pointing at the second floor and saying "there, over there..".
Chris added that the incident didn't just end there.
The girl was absent on set as she went on medical leave for several days after the incident. Chris subsequently heard that the crew, including the director, assistant director and the martial arts choreographer visited her at her home.
The girl stays in a rented apartment by herself.
When the group of men got to her apartment, they found her looking frail and exhausted. A short while later, the girl got possessed again and began to speak in a different manner to the group. The men were so scared they didn't dare to enter her house. Then the girl suddenly said she needed to use the toilet, and when she came out, she was normal again.
Chris said that according to the priest from the temple, the girl was possessed by two spirits, the ghost of a child and its mother. While the child remained behind at the empty house after the girl left, the mother had followed her home.
The priest eventually managed to exorcise the girl and she remembers nothing of her behaviour during the possession.
After the incident, some members of the film crew also commented that the filming had commenced earlier with prayers and offerings in Muar, but no prayers were offered when the crew went to Kuala Lumpur.
This is also the first time the crew has encountered such an incident.
